A Story of John Randolph.

Here is a story of John Randolph of
Roanoke which is matter of tradition in
Buckingham county, Virginia, but has
seldom been printed, if ever. A negro
was accused Of some infamous crime which
raised the popular indignation to such a
height that the accused wretch would have
been Iynched could the populace have laid
hands on him. But the sheriff and
strong Jail saved his life. The negro was
arraigned in due form, when suddenly
Randolph undertook his defense. The
popular indignation was at once transferred
to the sturdy son of Pocahontas, and inti-
mate friends, believing he was in danger,
endeavored to induce him to withdraw
from the defense. The Lord of Roanoke
was not a man to turn back. Lie defed
public opinion, and at last, when he arose
to speak, conquered it through his first
eloquently defiant sentences SIN the days
of childhood" he began, 81 learned from
that best Of teachers Of childhood,
Christian mother, that athe fear Of the
Lord is the beginning Of wisdom in the
days of manhood learned from that best
Of teachers Of manhood, experience, that
fear of man is the contamination Of folly.
Those who heard this brilliant opening
could not but admire its exquisite antsthe-
sis. Indignation ceased. The negro was
acquitted.

She was my dreams fulfillment and my JOY,
This lovely woman whom you call your wife;
You sported at your play, an idle boy,
When first felt the stirring of her life
Within my startled being. l was thrilled
With such intensity of love, it filed
The very universal But words are vain
No man can comprehend that wild, sweet pain.
You smiled in ehildhood's slumber while felt
The agonies of labor and the nights
1, weeping, DER the little sufferer knelt.
You, wandering ON through dreamland's fair de
lights
Flung out your lengthening limbs and slept and
grew
While 1, awake, saved this dear wife for wife.
She was my hearts loved IDOL and my pr1e:
taught her all those graces which you praise;
dreamed of coming years, when at my side
She should lend lustre to my fading days,
Should cling to me (as she to you clings now.
The young fruit hanging to the withered bough.
But 10 the blossom was so fair sight,
You plucked it from me-for your own delight
We'll. you are worthy of hero, thank Godl-
And yet think you do not realize
How burning were the sands Ger which trod
To bear and rear this woman you so prize;
1t was no easy thing to see her go
Even into the arms of one she worshiped so.
How strong. how vast, how awful, seems the power
OF this new love which fills maiden's heart,
For ene who never bore a single hour
OF pain for her; which tears her life apart
From all its moorings. and controls her more
Than all the ties the years had held before;
Which crowns stranger with kingly grace
And gives the one who bore her-second place.
She loves me still / and yet were Death to say,
Choose now between themT you would be her
choice;
God meant it to be soft is His way
But can you wonder If while rejoice
In her content, this thought hurts like knife
''No longer necessary to her lifep
My pleasure in her joy is bitter sweet
Your very goodness sometimes hurts my heart,
Because for her life's drama seems complete
Without the mothers oft-repeated part.
Be patient with mel She was mine so long
Who now is yours One must indeed be strong
To meet such loss without the least regret,
And so forgive me If my eyes arc wet
